Work in Progress

Sorry for my long absence again.  There were so many things that I had to take care of.  Anyway, how's your summer going?  Mine is going well.  A little life change and sewing!  Well, this is my latest project.  A wonky star quilt!  I was never much fan of star shaped quilts to tell you the truth.  I thought star shapes make it look too countryish to my liking.  But I love my wonky star!  I had so much fun making these blocks that I might offer wonky start quilt classes.  Sounds good?  Stay tuned.

I'm not enjoying machine quilting this size.   Mine ended up in about 72 x 60 inches.   This is my least favorite part of quilt making...

It's so frustrating...hand quilting is much easier and controllable.  And it is meditating...

Hand stitching the binding.  My favorite part of quilt making...
